Chapter 70: How to Deal with the Captured Demon Concubine
The person riding in the emperor's dragon chariot was not the second emperor Zhao Qian, but his beloved concubine Wen Renyu.
The dragon chariot moved together with the infantry and baggage of the army, dragging it to the rear of the entire imperial army to suppress the rebellion.
At this time, the baggage troops were marching slowly in a long snake formation over a river valley in the hilly area of Tumubao. No one of the accompanying imperial soldiers could smell the dangerous smell in the air.
In order to protect Concubine Wen Guifei in the dragon chariot from the turbulence, a large number of civilians along the march were widening the official road in advance and filling in the potholes.
This dragon chariot, inlaid with gold and silver and glittering with pearls, was pulled forward by six horses.
The driver driving the cart waved the whip in his hand cautiously, fearing that the horse pulling the cart would accidentally disturb Concubine Wen who was resting in the dragon chariot, and end up with her body in a different place.
In the dragon chariot, Wen Renyu, who was dressed elegantly, stretched his waist lazily, yawned and ordered the accompanying maid to open the window of the dragon chariot, wanting to get some air and take a look at the scenery of "Saibei" .
For Wen Renyu, who has lived in the palace for a long time, it is a unique experience to accompany the emperor on this expedition.
In her opinion, this is simply an indulgent tour of the mountains and rivers, with only poetry and paintings, music, chess, and songs, and no cruelty of war at all.
Even, it was not as much as the sight of swords, swords, and bloody killings that she saw on the day she was taken out of the palace of the former deposed emperor by Zhao Mang.
Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the car window, Wen Renyu's mind was filled with what Zhao Qian had promised her before the expedition: The day when the King's army triumphs from the Northern Expedition will be the day when I canonize you as the new queen!
Wen Renyu said to himself: "It would be great if this Northern Expedition to suppress the rebellion could be as easy and comfortable as my journey from the Imperial City of the Capital to Youzhou City!"
"When I return to the capital, I will have to call myself my own palace, haha!"
In the dragon chariot, I heard that Ren Yu covered his face and smiled foolishly.
When the two palace maids saw this, they kowtowed and shouted good luck to the queen.
This shout of "Queen's Lady" reached Wen Renyu's heart.
Kick, kick, kick!
Kick, kick, kick!
Suddenly, Wen Renyu, who was in a good mood inside Long Chai, seemed to suddenly feel the irregular vibrations of the carriage.
Moreover, the frequency of vibrations is getting faster and faster.
Just when she was about to give an order to ask the accompanying maid to ask the coachman what was going on, a frightened and desperate scream came from outside:
"Enemy attack——"
Immediately afterwards, Qian Hu, the imperial guard responsible for protecting Concubine Wen, shouted in a voice that was almost breaking: "Come here, escort, protect Concubine Wen!"
Then, there was the overwhelming howling from all over the mountains and plains:
"Qing the emperor's side, get rid of the traitors, consolidate the foundation of the country, and stabilize the country!"
"Longcheng Jingnan's army is here, why don't you, the traitorous traitors in the imperial court, surrender quickly and die!"
"Kill!"
Accompanied by the earth-shattering howl, there was also the sound of horse hooves like rolling thunder.
Inside the dragon carriage, with the help of the accompanying palace maid's trembling hands, Wen Renyu saw a long golden figure swooping down from the hillside not far away.
Behind this golden figure were countless cavalrymen wearing heavy armor, and even the horses under their crotches were also covered in heavy armor.
These cavalrymen, who looked like Shuras from Hell, held their swords, spears, swords and halberds high in their hands, shining with a dazzling cold light under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Seeing this scene, Wen Renyu suddenly collapsed on the couch in the dragon chariot.
There is a thought that keeps swirling in my mind: It's over, I can't be the empress, I can't be the empress of the new dynasty's mother-in-law!
Outside the dragon chariot, Qian Hu, the Imperial Guardsman responsible for protecting Concubine Wen, was still trying his best to control his horse. He drew out his short sword and gave the order: "Forest Guards, protect her!"
"The rest of the people, don't panic, rush all the baggage carriages together, and form a horse formation around the dragon chariot. Don't let the thieves disturb the imperial concubine's holy carriage!"
"Those who are afraid of fighting and those who flee will be killed without mercy and the nine tribes will be killed!"
Although the imperial guard Qianhu tried his best to suppress him, the frightened infantrymen preparing Japanese soldiers and baggage troops could not obey his orders.
At this time, let alone killing the Nine Clan.
Even if it were to kill the Shi clan, it would be useless!
These Japanese soldiers have been fighting with Japanese and pirates along the coast all year round. Let them fight on the beach and on the ship. The ones who stand up are all heroes.
But if you let them, especially the infantry who are heavy troops, face the super heavy cavalry Iron Buddha, which is heavily armored and armed to the teeth, both human and horse.
Even if you have eight guts, you don’t dare to face the charge of Iron Buddha!
What's more, behind these super heavy cavalry, there are countless light cavalry.
This was tantamount to a devastating blow to the imperial Japanese infantry, which was already depleted of men and horses. Countless people fled out of survival instinct.
Of course, there were also court cavalry and imperial cavalry who protected the baggage troops. As soon as they discovered the Jingnan army in Longcheng, they formed battle formations and rushed forward to try to withstand the sharp edge of Tiefu Tu and fight for the army's formation waiting for reinforcements. time.
However, in the face of absolute strength, all resistance is in vain, and it is nothing more than adding a few more military exploits to the military exploits of the officers and soldiers of Longcheng Jingnan Army.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The two armies met in close combat, first firing a round of arrows at each other, and then fighting together on the narrow official road.
King Chen Huaian, wearing golden armor, led the way and charged into the enemy's formation.
Those who dared to stop him were chopped, swept, or stabbed by the Fang Tian Huaji in Chen Huaian's hand, easily breaking through the defense line organized by the imperial cavalry in a hurry.
The three thousand Dragon City Iron Pagodas following closely behind, when facing the imperial cavalry and baggage infantry, their offensive can be described as rampaging and crushing.
In just one round, the imperial army's defense line was completely broken through and destroyed, killing the enemy.
The last to arrive at the battlefield were 10,000 tiger and leopard cavalry led by the brave general Pang Xianchu. All they had to do was to continue to tear along the enemy's defense line that was broken through and destroyed by the Iron Pagodas, leaving no room for maneuver until all the enemy troops on the battlefield were killed.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Huaian had ridden his horse to the front of the emperor's dragon chariot, and stood face to face with the trembling imperial guard captain.
Chen Huaian raised his Fang Tian Huaji, pointed the tip of the halberd domineeringly, and said sternly: "I ask you, is the person riding on the dragon chariot the current emperor Zhao Gan?"
The captain said tremblingly: "Chen, Chen Huaian, are you the traitor Chen Huaian?"
This captain had met Chen Huaian once in the imperial city of the capital, and remembered Chen Huaian's appearance in his mind.
However, the weak and childish waste prince in his impression was now wearing armor and holding a spear in the battle formation, with the courage of ten thousand men. He was a little unsure whether this was Chen Huaian?
Chen Huaian said sternly: "I am following the will of the late emperor to purge the emperor's side and eliminate the treacherous officials. Tell me, is Zhao Gan among them?"
"The traitor Chen Huaian, who rebelled against Tiangang, shall be killed by everyone!"
The captain was quite tough. At this point, after confirming Chen Huaian's identity, he was not afraid.
"Chen Huaian, prepare to die!"
Before he finished speaking, the captain had already ridden forward, waving the ring-headed sword in his hand, and slashed at Chen Huaian.
"Stupid!"
Chen Huaian casually poked the captain with the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, and killed him.
Afterwards, he rode forward.
He raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand and lifted the curtain of the dragon chariot with the tip of the halberd.
What came into view was a foxy face that could not hide its charm even though it was wet with tears!
